C L A U D E Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Watched most of the SPECIAL features on both dvd sets but enjoyed the rather short but terrific to see LUCY AND FAMILY at home on Roxbury drive first of course and it was short but very very sweet! Wish they had gone INSIDE the house rather than outside though. Watched the Marineland ep first and then the hilarious Howard Morris in his BLIND date with Lucy turn, then Dean Martin of course which was not only Lucy's favorite ep ever but mine too, that beautiful sequin encrusted jacket looked GOLD on my copy but is obviously RED here. Still beautiful though, same as Lucy in her best LOOK ever with the longer hair, looking sexy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved all the episodes in different ways! I just finished disc one today and loved all of them, i agree with Neil, i too had forgotten how great some of these Lucy shows were and they've grown on me also, now it's no longer the show i waited for all week but nostalgia, longing for a time when all tv shows were good, not the garbage that's on today.

Yeah i liked it too but don't remember it that well, i'll come back with a comment after i view it again. You gotta remember that we're talking about the two biggest tv stars of the period working together, how could it not be funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy's Aussie Fan Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Exactly! They worked really well together! And I can easily watch this episode over "Lucy, the Superwoman" ANYDAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all honey.............I like Milton Berle, I just thought that the whole storyline was lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yes, fine, but do i recall your having an anti Milton Berle thing going on? Lucy Meets the Berles is much better, but Lucy teamed with the greats of comedy was never quite the powerhouse combination it should have been. Sid Caesar, Don Knotts, Jackie Gleason, Andy Griffith, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney....I'm sure there's more. Maybe it was because comedy styles do not necessarily inter-mesh. Could be the material. Even the jack Benny episodes are essentially Jack Benny Shows with Lucy thrown in. Lucy and Hope are an OK team, but Lucy defers to Bob. Plus they didn't do anything other than his stale specials after 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think you hit the nail on the head with that MATERIAL being the real problem, you remember that when they got her on any show they did not worry about the lousy writing knowing she could make sirloin out of mincemeat just by being in the lousy sketches they wrote for her.

C L A U D E Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 My Disc 3 reviews; Lucy Discovers Wayne Newton Good Lucy, The Rain Goddess Poor Lucy and Art Linkletter Good Lucy Bags a Bargain Excellent Lucy Meets Mickey Rooney Excellent Lucy and the Soap Opera Excellent Lucy Goes to a Hollywood Premiere Good Yeah, i agree with your reviews except that i give it slightly better ratings considering these shows are from so long ago, it's amazing how well they've held up at all and i am shocked that they are still funny and somewwhat topical so many decades later. Considering their low budget, the names that appeared and how hot these people were BACK THEN and the somewhat badly written plots and Lucy shining in all of them despite all that. I especially liked it wehen she did something different from what we were used to and her being a stuntman and dating and getting into different things like attending a Premiere, dating a celeb or becoming a robot or delving into soaps were delicious attempts at humor.

Lucy's Aussie Fan Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I agree Claude. Every episode has something good about it! But The Rain Goddess episode just didnt cut it for me though. Not sure why. I lost interest very quickly with this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
